Afton soil projects won’t cause any more total shutdowns of I-64

Posted on May 23, 2013 by chriscallahan

Here’s welcome news if you use Interstate 64 for trips over Afton Mountain. VDOT says crews have made enough progress with their soil removal project to end the total shutdowns of I-64. It says the final closure ended late Wednesday morning. There will be single lane closures while the remaining soil gets pushed to the bottom of a slope and hauled away. VDOT will close the right westbound lane at times between 7 a.m. – 8:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday for the next five weeks.
